On Friday, February 7, Rae Kiragu announced her plans to step down from Homeboyz Radio after a period of pleasant interactions with her fans.

In a post she made on Twitter, Rae thanked her fans for the support they gave her which contributed to her good time at the show.

"From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for listening to me each time I went on air and to my HBR family, for the incredible chance to be a part of you," read an excerpt from her tweet.
